Lexar Jump Drive Recognition

Okay this is the problem.
I am using Windows 7 64bit
I have two Lexar 16GB USB Jump Drives. Also marked as TwistTurn.
A format was interrupted on one of these drives and now upon inserting it in my main computer the LED just stays constantly lit and the drive is not recognized. This drive is recognized without problems in four other computers (three laptops and one desktop - 2 x Windows 7 Home 32 bit 1 x Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and 1 x Win 7 Ultimate 32bit). Yes I downloaded and used the Lexar USB format tool on it to no avail. The other drive is recognized without any problems. The desktop computer where the failed format occurred will not recognize the drive the had the failed format - even though I reformatted it in another computer. Have tried rebooting, complete power off and rebooting, checking it for errors, using different ports etc. The only thing I can think of is that Windows has rejected this drive completely in some obscure setting somewhere. I just can't find it. One other thing. If I boot with this drive inserted, the boot menu halts at recognizing the USB drives. Doesn't happen in the other computers. Weird?? Can't find a fix on the net. Have used Device Manager to scan for hardware changes. Cannot make this particular drive work in this PC. Any help appreciated.

Thanks, tried that and did not work. I found that leaving the drive plugged in it was eventually recognized - after I spent 15 - 20 minutes outside chopping wood. Going to format it again in this computer (where the fault occurred originally) and see if that makes a difference.

Thanks a lot. The Nirsoft USBDeview fixed the problem. I had a lot of things listed more than once. For example my Logitech Pro 4000 camera was listed six times each with two entries - audio and camera.

Been doing that for a very long time on my machines, Zig needs a caveat to others about the almost inevitable battle with false positive flags if you recommend that 'remote download' route though, maybe better to allow people to spend a some time exploring and reading the FAQs, esp. #2.

Historically, 2-3 of the Sysinternals tools have also suffered from these false positives. I don't hesitate to install these on a PC I'm working on though, even if I don't use them at the time, they'll come in very handy if, for instance, the PC comes back with some active malware causing connection problems.

Thanks for that. Will check it out. I used these utilities once before but since I found this which gives much more information and control and it actually uses part of the SysInternals Suite. Check it out here http://systemexplorer.net/
If you try this program don't forget to click the + at the end of the menu bar to add the tabs for info you want to see.
Let me know what you think.SystemExplorer Screenshot - 001.jpg
